Author David Foster Wallace's life and works

Los Angeles Times Book Editor David L. Ulin on the death of David Foster Wallace:<br>
<br>
"He is one of the main writers who brought ambition, a sense of play, a joy in storytelling and an exuberant experimentalism of form back to the novel in the late '80s and early 1990s. And he really restored the notion of the novel as a kind of canvas on which a writer can do anything."
